Death and all his friends/The Escapist (song ) review

Featured Replies

This is one of my favorites from the album (maybe even 2nd favorite, but 42 and Yes and Cemeteries of London are all bouncing around in my top 3). When the heaviness comes in...I get shivers. Best album closer since Amsterdam.

I agree with the male chorus at the end of the song with the whole revenge thing...amazing...absolutely amazing

I thought i was the only one, I love the end with him singing about Death and all his friends, its amazing.

 

Lyrics to the Escapist?

In the end

we'll lie awake

and dream

of making our escape....

 

so FUCKING beautiful. literally like... between the male chorus and the escapist.. the ending to this album brings tears to my eyes.

The Escapist really is brilliant. It's one of their shortest songs, and it's light on lyrics, but it's one of the most emotional things they've ever done, I think.

Seriously, fix you is the first thing that came to mind for me as well. Overrated pssh. haha I love it. :)

the fix you thing doesn't really matter right now, but i'll gladly debate that another day. but this song daahf is fucking kickass

DAAHF is possibly their greatest written song.. seriously.. it really is a brilliant moment in music.

 

 

bravo

I thought it was a great twist that The Escapist turned out to be a version of Life in Technicolor. Of course I should've known! I'd already read way back that the same guy wrote them!

 

I love the part in Death and All His Friends where the band just belts it out! "I don't wanna follow Death and all his friends!"

both songs are fucken brilliant........the escapist is so cool...........THE ESCAPIST IS SO BEAUTIFUL..........BEST SONG TO BAD ITS SHORT

Death And All His Friends is AMAZING, That's (Maybe) What Influenced my name (Maybe) :P

 

I still can't decide what my fave song is yet, I LOVE THEM ALL!

can anyone send me a link for that song??

 

PLEASE.

beginning reminds me of see you soon or whatever it is called, i like it

not liking the middle so much, not liking the guitar riff

i don't love the escapist. that or reign of love is probably the worst track

I really like this song actually :D

i love the song..i wished they could sing that chorus a bit more cause its so beautiful and i want to hear it over and over again..

 

its real uplifting for me :D

DaAHF is, in my opinion, one of the greatest songs they've ever written, if not the greatest song. Just so beautiful and uplifting... ^^

 

I really like the Escapist, actually - it's a fitting end to a nice album - out similarly to the way it came, but even more dreamlike.

I love this song, reminds me alot of Amsterdam and Fix You for some reason :D

amazing song!

 

I think this might be the closure for Viva La Vida Tour!

 

If it IS the closing song, I'm glad I won't be able to attend any of the concerts, I'd be crying like a baby:cry:. It's SOOO beautiful and so moving.

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but is the beginning of the song like that or does it has like an intro or something, because Cedric's version starts like in the middle of a sentence, could someone explain that??

All winter we got carried

Away over on the rooftops

Lets get married

 

All summer we just hurried

So come over just be patient

And don’t worry

So come over, just be patient

And don’t worry

 

So come over, just be patient

and don’t worry

 

And don’t worry

 

No I don’t want a battle from the intuit

I don’t wanna cycle, recycle revenge

I don’t wanna follow death and all his friends

 

No I don’t want a battle from the intuit

I agree, the end of death and all his friends is so moving, standing-up-for-your-beliefs kinda thing... its great. and it's totally grown on me.

:uhoh: if that makes sense.

 

It feel like they really mean it, in that chorus bit. beautiful!!!
